Personally like and recommend their "cherry bomb", "black on black", "simon says" and "the 7th sense" a lot.

[@JeffAvenue]

Frances Siu seems like everyone’s suggesting the same things! Awesome! Thanks for checking this video out :)

7th sense is a MUST

7th sense was the trap..🤗

[@winwinnie4905]

the LOONA cover for cherry bomb is also amazing, you could check it out as well!!

[@maiderb4580]

Fun fact: the choreographer said that the jump move that Mark does on Taeyong's leg was suggested by Taeyong, he is amazing

[@thekleia455]

it could really hurt him tho :/

[@xx1536]

Fun fact about taeyong: When taeyong first started as a trainee, he didn’t know much about dance So can we just all like spend a minute thinking about how much taeyong improved since then and how hard he works

[@ry7774]

His trainers even gave up on him, and said he was a horrible dancer. But now he’s a main dancer and one of the best in kpop!

[@weeyetoeye6773]

Which proves hardwork can solve everything.

[@fullsun2236]

Oh I'm sure you'll love "Simon Says" choreo, in my opinion it's one of their best. ALSO the guy with the blue hat was indeed Taeyong! Thank u for your reaction!!

[@JeffAvenue]

Fullsun !! Haha yay I got it right! Simon Says- will put on the list :)

[@winwincult4503]

The high note is Taeil btw

i think the more synchronization you like it at nct dance pratice is -Chain -cherry bomb -we go up -simon says -black on black -boss that's the most crazier dance among nct lmao

[@back2u842]

Thx for checking out NCT, in term of dancing NCT are ones of the best and respectful in KPOP. Actually you cant spell synchronization without N C T lol. NCT known for their in sync choreo, you should check out NCT 127 dance practice vid for Firetruck and Simon Says. Also NCT 2018 Black on Black which included 18 members of NCT, and NCT debut song NCT U - The 7th Sense (performance ver). But for this Kick It choreo, they are not really in sync intentionally. Brian Puspos is the choreographer of this piece and he is a former competitve dancer and the choreo has that dance battle vibe. This dancer reactor (Tofu) explained it all in his vid reaction. He was also a competitive dancer and he has reacted some of NCT dance practice vids kzbin.info/www/bejne/anzJlJJjZ7WohtU

[@JeffAvenue]

Back 2 U ohh I’ll have to check out their other stuff then to see their synchronization skills! Thanks for the info! Brian Puspos is a BEAST. Huge respect for that guy!

[@leetaebreze4043]

I think if Jeff started reacting to NCT from 7th Sense to current, his opinion to Kick It would be different.

[@prettypinkpillows1000]

You should react to the 7th sense: that choreo is known as one of the hardest in kpop😂

[@JeffAvenue]

prettypinkpillows ooo so curious now!

[@donthaveanamestill9221]

the guy in the blue hat is taeyong:) lots of fans are worried about that risky move too. enjoy ur analysis and suggestions so much and I recommend their comeback stage in music bank 200306 if u wanna check out their performance.

[@JeffAvenue]

donthaveaname still I think Taeyong would be my bias here. We shall see!

[@JeffAvenue]

[@cyninshadows7041]

friendly advice, jeff. As a first timer to NCT I don't want you to embarrass yourself (or take hits from offended fans!) by saying there is room for improvement with a bit of polishing & mirror time. NCT IDOLS live in a world of wall to wall mirrors with go pros trained on them 24/7, they know what they look like and can rewind to review every move they make. They are SO self aware. As for muscle memory & polish, your points are well taken for...aspiring dancers...but as so many have told you here...you REALLY DO NEED to see MORE of NCT to comment cause their dance skills (also rap skills singing skills style swag) are utterly MAD. (the running joke is that NCT127 practice with protractors) so KICK IT is an INTENTIONAL EXCEPTION to their rule. As, dance reactor Fresh Tofu explained clearly, KICK IT was INTENTIONALLY choreoed AS a fight/battle dance by a team of choreographers (including Brian Puspos) who wanted 100% on the stage & did not ASK for 127's distinctive idols to dance...as one. They wanted to see their killer instincts emerge...not pretty pictures...so the boys are working against normal DANCER instincts here. SM always reaches out to the best & brightest & shakes it up. the choreo for Kickit is an international fusion helmed by Jung Koosung who melded Quick Style Crew, Julian DeGuzman & Brian Puspos all of whom contributed to the flavor of the final product. THAT NCT 127 can embrace a merger like that is a true test of their versatility...and skillsets Also not to worry too much about Taeyong's leg. That move was Taeyong's OWN idea that HE cleared with Kickit lead choreographer, Jung Koosung, after fully discussing the risk vs dramatic impact it could have. Respecting Taeyong's confidence that they COULD do the move, Koosung let MarkYong decide about it. They decided to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXibl5iXbdx0bck Koosung felt confident because as he said in that interview, Taeyong "is passionate about dance, amazing, he has many ideas & he's AS good AS the Kickit choreographers" (Puspos was one of them) Taeyong has been choreographing his solos & for others (including Ten) since he was an SM rookie and he has NOW choreographed himself & his backup dancers (GTA) & his memorable "moves" in (No Manners) in SuperM. Taeyong knows what he is doing & what his own body can do. As for your concern that they might accidentally execute it unsafely, Koosung got ATTACKED by fans (like some here) for "letting" the boys do a move that would "hurt Taeyong" But AS the rehearsal choreographer WORKING with them to create the piece, HE felt confident that THEY could do it safely because THEY are SKILLED & EXPERIENCED kpop risk takers. Yes, accidents CAN happen, but Taeyong (blue hat) & Mark (leaper) don't make ill conceived or needless mistakes like that...ever. EXPERIENCE: Taeyong is NCT127's Leader who helmed his nine members through a us/world tour in 2019. He is their Main Dancer, Main Rapper, Center, Choreo Consultant & Dance Captain (some of those moves you like are his signatures & embellishments) Taeyong is also one of the four MAIN DANCERS in SUPER M (Taemin, Kai, Taeyong Ten) You didn't recognize (the leaper) as Mark Lee, who, with Lucas (WayV) & Baekhyun (EXO), make up the other very capable members in SuperM (their us/world tour is in progress). Mark is Taeyong's fellow MAIN RAPPER in NCT, his longtime Rap Duo partner, they finish each other's sentences. Ty & Mark have danced side by side since the 7th Sense & in their rap/dances they move together like one body. Mark is the dancer who leaps OVER Taeyong (red hair center) to do his solo in black on black. In short, concern noted, but there is no one Taeyong could trust more to execute a risky step safely ON his body.

[@JeffAvenue]

cyninshadows will definitely check out more of NCT to get a better understanding 👍🏽 I get what the choreographer is trying to do with this one because like I said in the video, there are a ton of moments that they are sync so it does seem intentional after being educated on it. My only thing is that in that case, this may not be a good intro song to new audience as those (few) moments of not being sync may appear messy. It’s very insider. Which is great for existing fans. It’s like Boy With Luv from BTS, it’s a song that does not necessarily represent BTS’ overall style or ability but it means something to the ARMY. So I definitely get it. But overall, I’m very impressed with these guys and as I’ve mentioned, looking forward to seeing more from them :)

[@cyninshadows7041]

@@JeffAvenue Well said! Always pleased to see a new dancer respond to the NCT Boys! There's a LOT of them (also a LOT of videos) so I hope these essential links & informative helpful fans here will give you a jumpstart cause NCT is also a LOT of fun to react to! First of all, there is NCT being...NCT. INDUSTRY: So, this time, is it gonna be about...concept or production values or styling or singing or rapping or dancing or martial arts or.... NCT: Yes. (They are never gonna settle for...comfortable) Not only is this concept melding martial arts & competitive dance vibe, but The Boys are shaking it up in the Neozone (second album) in content styles and also to give their many talented members chances to TRY "NewThangs". We've got Main Rappers singing and Vocalist rapping and The Main Dancer/Center & Main Singers stepping to the side to give others (everyone in NCT can dance & sing) more moments to shine. PLUS we've got the the "NCT Pillars" Taeyong & Mark bringing home what they've picked up touring with the Kpop Avengers in SuperM. I see you DO know about insider dancer stuff at play here, Jeff, so I really value your perspective. I also agree with you that this particular practice video could be misleading to NEW viewers for the good reasons you've given. Most of all I find your FRESH insight is VERY instructive because the dance line has...shifted...for this stage and you clearly SAW that. Each time you are happy (like the chorus) it's their leader/main dancer/center Blue Hat Taeyong...leading. When you are...not so much...it's other capable dancers like Yuta (orange) Johnny (gray) who are new to...the center. It's valid to DO that, these are NINE very talented guys, each of them deserving of the spotlight. But fans need to realize. as you've so impartially shown here, that putting together a GREAT stage is not...about...distribution of lines & moves so "everybody gets a turn" to be seen & heard. Excellence in Performance is...about...who brings the best...execution...to each note & move. A missed detail a discordant note or out of sync step...truly does matter. So...yeah...this is gonna take some adjustment but NCT will sort it out...they ALWAYS do. And we welcome your ongoing insights as they get there.

[@btrsyiaa]

there’s no need to be this aggressive to a first timer...

[@eliebubu]

This comment is exactlly what I wanted to write. Also I agree that kick it is not too suitable for first impresion cause the choreo for new people seems messy. NCT are one of the most talented idols (my opinion) they are great dancers their singing and rapping skills are on point + visual no need to mention. These boys have too much thangs to show us! I love their music and everything also I hope that you Jeff will react to them more so u can understand them ^^

[@mugensgeta1125]

cyninshadows bruh i don’t think it’s fair to tell someone not to worry about Taeyong’s leg because he “doesn’t make mistakes.” It doesn’t matter if he is usually perfect, because one incorrect landing on his leg area and his knee could become messed up. I think it’s absolutely fair to be worried about that move because it’s kind of dangerous and hits a vulnerable area. They will repeatedly do this move (in promotion, practice, stages etc.) and it is a little concerning.

[@kennap6265]

09:56 anyone else was waiting for him to react to haechan literally gliding to his position? Just me? Okay 😔 also imo I think each member tried to do the choreo in their own style for this song since they seem alot more unsynchronized this time more than in their previous titles 🤔

[@JeffAvenue]

Kenna P oh haha I didn’t notice that! Damnnnn that’s so good! Hard to do that with just normal sneakers. Even MJ had special shoes for his glides 🔥

[@danieledearaujoalves2390]

Jeff Avenue Actually MJ is haechan’s biggest inspiration.

[@irreguler4057]

And on 7:11. Haechan literally *flew away*

[@k____90]

I agree, I feel they are less focused about synchronization this time and more about enjoying and expressing their own style. Their earlier comebacks are more synchronized like cherry bomb and fire truck.

[@josephmarilyndunford8422]

Just to give my two cents: if you decide to also watch their MV and learn about the lyrics, you will see that this song is referenced to Bruce Lee and hence, the Kung Fu theme (since I assume it’s difficult to see/hear the song properly in the dance practice environment with the echo and the like). Kung Fu is a martial art discipline which is “fluid” in its movements called forms, unlike many others that are more “rigid” in nature. As you had commented, there were some movements that are fully in-sync but there are also parts where the boys were “seemingly not in-sync”. Those parts which were synchronized were mostly the chorus where they danced together and they were indeed meant to show synchronization...however the individual parts (one example was when one vocalist sang part of the bridge and everyone else was on the ground) would have also been “intended to be fluid” movement within the group and not rigid (another example was when you pointed out in the beginning where one member was kicking higher than the rest: he was put at the front line and hence kicking harder than everyone else who stood in the background (and totally being in sync) and as you could see in the end, they always returned to synchronization. Another example I could give you from a different song, if you want to check, is called “Take Off” by another NCT sub-unit called “WayV”. Go to 2:33-2:40 of the MV and you will see Ten (SuperM) in the front line dancing more exaggeratedly while the rest were less exaggeratedly in the background. This was not because the rest didn’t know how to dance but because this was again, choreographed intentionally, to fit the mood of the bridge, after which everyone comes back to synchronization. Not all group dance has to be all about synchronization 24/7. There are movements within dance groups that are consistently not in sync, but this song and its concept did not require being in-sync throughout the whole MV. NCT has worked with extremely experienced and professional choreographers (and for this particular song, also with martial artists) - and with dozens of hours of endless daily training for the past decade, I think I can safely say they know all about perfect angles, precisions and synchronizations. Regarding your question: as mentioned above you can always start with the MV to understand what the song is about and how the dance is incorporated to convey its message. But if you can spare a further 6 minutes, my recommendation is to also watch NCT 127 THE STAGE (SQUAD & FIGHTER Ver.). It has an extra 1.5 minutes of prelude where they, again, showed fluid dance parts required to be in-sync with the music. Regarding SuperM: 67% of its members are from NCT (Taeyong and Mark from 127 unit you just reacted to, Lucas and Ten from WayV unit, in case you’re not already aware). The others are from EXO and SHINee.

[@JeffAvenue]

Joseph & Marilyn Dunford thank you so much for taking the time to explain those to me :) I’ll definitely have to check more of their stuff to understand them fully. Some of the other NCT members I’ve seen (Lucas, Winwin, Ten) are amazing dancers so I’m not surprised if the rest of them are just as amazing!

[@eliebubu]

Joseph & Marilyn Dunford I agree with this comm as well >< This MV is about Martial Arts + the harder beat and the concept of the MV don't want to show u the precise synchronisation (NCT are known for that and for amazing powerfull moves) so I highly recomending u to watch their live performances and more dance practices from all subunits like NCT Dream unbelievably talented teenagers or NCT U's and WayV also don't forget some solo stuff (mainly Ten's choreos - he's one of the best dancers in the kpop industry with Jisung who is the youngest of nct and Taeyong acording to Taemin - the BEST dancer in the kpop acording to almost all idols xD) choreos and of course NCT127. ^^

[@강수하-b3l]

don’t worry taeyong said that mark isn’t hurting him so we don’t have to worry !!

[@JeffAvenue]

nana jam haha awesome!

[@romina1740]

Some of the parts you mentioned as "messy" are from members that are more focused on their lines/faces or other movements as that is what the camera is going to focus on when they are on stage (example 6:56 where jaehyun after his part went down later than the others and it's the only one whose not in sync, and you mentioned johnny's leg before, same case) those type of things should be appreciated too if we are going to analyze their dance.. either way thank you for your reaction and you should definitely check more of NCT dance practices, you won't regret it and you would get that synchronization you are looking for for sure.

[@JeffAvenue]

AHH that's the best explanation there is! NOW I understand! Will have to see the performance then. probably more polished!

[@lenndly]

2:04 you have to consider their height difference for this one. Johnny in the center is way taller (which you of course can’t know so no blame on you) than the two in the back (Mark and Haechan) so for him to stretch his leg it’s pretty hard to stay at the same level cause not only is he taller but he’s also in the front so perspective wise his leg looks even higher...and the second time it looks better because the taller members are at the back so their legs don’t look that high raised as in the front I’m not a dancer or something I’m just taking in the different perspectives so if you meant something different just forget about my comment

[@JeffAvenue]

Lxnchxn 2004 that’s very true. Height differences can have an impact on the overall picture of the dance 👍🏽

[@ninectstay_]

Though I agree with everyone else, your explanation for Johnny is kind of bad(?). There are many other idols who are very tall (ex.: IZ*ONE Wonyoung, TXT Soobin) but even though they are taller, they practice hard to match the members. Whenever they dance, they try to observe the other member's performance to match with them and improve the angles that makes the performance bad. I think the other's explanation are good but blaming Johnny's height in this matter is not good. It just makes him look like a lazy person when he is not.

[@nightowlalex5255]

ninectstay_1205 Normally I would agree with you, but with the way the dance is set up, that Kick was meant to be powerful. If he went lower to match some of the shorter members who were push way further into the background it would lose the effect. It would lose so much of its impact, if Johnny weakened his kick, and I imagine a lot more sloppy. It’s not Johnny being lazy nor does it make him look lazy, he is putting emphasis on the power of his motions which is what the song and dance is all about.

[@lenndly]

ninectstay_1205 I don’t mean this in general Johnny does an amazing job with making his dancing suit the others but in my opinion this particular move where they throw their legs in the air is an exception , if he did it so that they would be on the same height his other leg wouldn’t be stretched enough because of the perspective and it would look really weird and unprofessional

[@Marycakes123]

I think this choreography was purposely not supposed to be in sync as to show off the 'fighter' aspect of the song.

[@shishik4571]

I honestly think the different interpretations of the choreo in terms of movement causing the slight “out of synch” feel was on purpose. It feels like the choreographer gave them this piece and told them to run with it. You can tell they’re individuals but cohesive as a group. They know how to be in synch, because I’ve seen their performance before. The concept for this is like “fighter” and “squad”, and in a squad they’re cohesive as a group, but made up of individuals. This is just my interpretation though.

[@LadioArchive]

i think one of the main reasons theyre not 100% in sync the whole time is because this is a dance practice and theyre more relaxed compared to actual performances on stage

i like how you catch these small details in their dance but i think they all know that they're doing the dance differently as in their own style. they all have their own small modifications in the dances and i really enjoy it because i think that's how you distinguish each of them from one another. for example, winwin (he's not in this but he is part of nct) he went to beijing dance academy where he learned traditional chinese dancing so it's obvious he'll have more of a stronger foundation doing certain moves a certain way rather than the other members who don't have much training in that style. but i know where you're analysis is coming from and i do think that it would make a bit more of an impact if they did focus a bit more in being more synchronized in some parts. im not trying to be hateful or anything but just want to say a bit in my point of view :) (also this was longer than expected oops)

[@JeffAvenue]

xiaojun haha no worries for the long comment! I love reading them! 😊 I saw Lovely choreo and those guys are amazing! Huge respect for them! I’m definitely understanding more of the concept of this choreography for sure 👍🏽

[@seulgixsus]

True , I like it that they have their own dancing styles. Not everything is abt synchronization imo, ofc it’s a plus. But they are not carbon copies of each other. Not same height, age, same body structures, same dancing/training experience. With choreo as hard as these, it’s not surprising.

[@Jane-qq2xr]

The "kick it" choreography had a lot of freestyle, so every member adds their own move here and there, that's why they're not synchronized. But "cherry bomb" is very synchronized because it doesn't have freestyle choreography.

[@zeephobic]

Lots of people may be worried about mark stepping on taeyongs knee, untill you find out that taeyong was the one who suggested mark do it LMAO

[@alisonwebre1]

An older group that really started the sycn movement is Infinite (Live Shows ) and Shinee. My favorite is EXO. Monster and the Eve Dance Practices for different vibes Playboy, Touch, Tempo is very solid. I also like NCT Dream. Highway to Heaven, English Version is my present favorite NCT 127 song. Wayv "Take Off" dance practice is also great. Seventeen is also very respected and do most all the own choreo, song writing and producing. If BTS is all you have been watching you have barely touched the edge of the kpop iceberg. Have Fun.

[@JeffAvenue]

Alison Webre haha I know there’s a ton of talent out there and everyone have a lot of content it’s hard to keep up ahah. Thanks for all the suggestions! I’m occupied til summertime! Lol 😂

[@alisonwebre1]

@@JeffAvenue Well if you are like a lot of us under shelter at home orders, you should have plenty of time. Stay safe and well and keep us entertained. LOL

[@ingamlodzikowska8939]

I don't know if anyone said it before, but you actually have seen NCT dancers before. Ten and WinWin (from 'lovely' dance) are also part of NCT, they just promote in China right now under different group name- WayV. And you should also check out some of NCT DREAM dance videos, they are really good! (Would recommend to start with We Young, GO or BOOM)

[@JeffAvenue]

Inga Mlodzikowska yess I heard! So many subunits I can’t keep up! Haha 🤣

[@omayma.9392]

I kinda love this the fact that they are synchronized but not really.

[@maangvrr6392]

i like how honest your opinions are, and you really pay attention to tiny details about this video. please check out their other videos, they're hella goodddd

[@geebeens]

Came across this again. What a journey it has been for you, Jeff :')

[@rodeoyeolie]

yashh you noticed it their vocals!!!

[@JeffAvenue]

xxx yeol yes! That was a long ass note he pulled! Haha thanks for watching :)

[@user-sc3ge2ii1z]

that ‘risky move’ was suggested by taeyong himself to be added to the choreography omg i’m crying

[@minipeonie]

I want you to change your mind a bit. In this agency he does not focus on equal or unison, but he is most focused on his own dance style. If you notice it carefully, he doesn't dance the same way, right? It's their own way of dancing. Hope you can understand ✊🏻💕🌷❕✨

[@itmebruh]

Their sound goes allllll over the place in every right way

[@nidaulkhasanah8520]

EVERYONE LOVES KICK IT IM SURE

[@ayan9617]

i find their struggles in doing same positions relatable cause they feel their bodies, their height and weight not quite same so they feel it differently therefore their moves come out different

[@antsatianarabenadimby3978]

YOUR REACTION TO TAEIL'S HIGHNOTE IS GOLD THANKS FOR MAKING TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT also thank you so much for your honesty and your detailed explanations, as a fan i tend to be blind and think that it's always perfect, i love to hear actual profesionnals having a non biased opinion

[@dessertcoffeeandme]

I really love watching your reaction because of the details and it gives me more knowledge about dancing and performance. Keep it up, Jeff!

[@Mee-cg5dj]

As my observation on NCT, every one of them has their own step, beat, choreo (if that what you say) in every song of them. Like this verse will have 9 choreo for each of 9 members. So my only suggestion is watching another video of NCT, there's significant meaning in their movement.

[@shannaorcullo9689]

Look at him now, he already memorises NCT :')

[@evrstnslv]

At first the choreographer said he didn't include any part of mark step on taeyong but taeyong went "how about mark step on me?". The choreographer asked so many times and they also worried bcs they have to perform so many times for promotion weeks. But taeyong said its okay he can do it.

[@bellazhang05]

Reading the comments makes me so happy because there are so many kind and informing nctzens just providing some more background info for Jeff. I really appreciate your commentary Jeff! Keep doing what you are doing. (Also as a nctzen I highly recommend WayV’s take off and Moonwalk as well as Boom by NCT Dream. Also I’m just curious to what you would think about Chewing Gum by NCT Dream)

[@snwwkt]

After reading comments I came to conclusion that some nctzens are pretty scary to mess around

[@princessjones1288]

All the members have differnt dance styles, thats what makes different positions looks different, theyre not together all thr time, but i think its like a concept for them. Even though they as a group are 1, theyre different.

[@tiongjieying3802]

LOVED YOUR REACTION! Btw that risky move was not intended to be added on by the choreographer, Taeyong was the mastermind behind that move. I really loved that part as it adds so much effect and "wows", Taeyong really has some creativity and great ideas and I think it definitely was a great addition!!

[@nurilhidayah7283]

I'm pretty sure that you will like NCT,because their dance is really different and harder from the other group,and I'll be waiting for your reaction to more NCT DANCE PRACTICE especially cherry bomb

[@JeffAvenue]

Nuril Hidayah ooo I like harder and epic ones 👍🏽

[@nagisaakabane5479]

Thank you for reacting to this!

[@realwhaleneverdieskrrr3404]

If you wanna watch their stage you totally can type “kick it nct 127 live” in the research box XD I hope you enjoy it!!

[@janayj9078]

You seem to talk about synchronization a lot so I think a group you might like is Seventeen. They're a group that's really known for their choreo and synchronization so I'll leave some suggestions just in case you wanna check them out :) : Getting Closer dance practice Hit dance practice Don't wanna cry dance practice (HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!) lilili yabbay (ALSO HIGLY RECOMMEND!!) Home dance practice Fear dance practice

[@JeffAvenue]

Janay J gotcha thank you!

[@haydennicole178]

@9:55 YO i just realized the way Haechan we moving! HOW TF HE DO THAT!

[@haechanexistsotheresareaso7484]

His reaction to Taeil's high note made me so happy. Like, yes! That man is NCT's main vocal ♡ ps. hoping that more NCTzens will appreciate him though :(

[@arabellareed8869]

NCT are like my fave group. They are extremely talented. Thanks for reacting to Kick It dance practice

[@cheesobogo3199]

His favourite word is EFFECTIVE and i love that😂😂😂

[@selfisharchive]

This is basically jeff reacting to jeff.

[@barbaraalves5957]

this was such a good video to watch, seeing some actual constructive criticism is so rare these days and the way you went about the things they could do to make it better was so nice ♥

[@JeffAvenue]

Bih Alves thank you! I’ve heard many things about why this wasn’t as polished as I was wanting it to be so we’re learning! 😊

[@clarsinmars]

I like how most of the comments about NCT here are so long but he takes time to read it all

[@JeffAvenue]

Always willing to learn 😁

[@sidmiller1080]

you should definitely check out Seventeen’s choreos!! they’re known for being in sync even though they have 13 members. it makes their moves look so cool. i personally suggest “don’t wanna cry” and “home” for really in sync choreos

[@rileyonthatbeat3047]

No one: Me whenever I hear *"Kick It": "let me introduce you to some new thangs, new thangs"* *STAN NCT 127, NCT DREAM, NCT U, WayV, SuperM* Yes the guy in the blue bucket hat is *Taeyong* and *Mark* was the one who jumped on his leg.

[@eerye70]

I am so glad i found you! i love your reviews of these various dances. I love your format of the dance practice and then the video. It is great to hear the pieces of information you give about the technical aspects of the dance and the insight you share. I really enjoy your reviews. and you are nice to look at too! :)

[@aspriliadewi6109]

Ahhh! Thank you for notice our Moon-Taeil 😭😭😭

[@tonir8448]

i love ypur reactions a lot! idk i just love your way of talking and your voice and your mindset literally everything!💚

[@hajime1995]

This risky move came from Taeyong´s IDEA. Such a professional artist.

[@hannalee8961]

I think you are pro of details.. For real.. I mean when you say the difference between the first kick and second kick I can see the little difference too... Thanks for reacting.. 💚

[@baileymjl]

i literally agree with everything u said haha people think their idols are perfect but after dancing for 13 years I can't help but nitpick the little details lmao

[@JeffAvenue]

Haha thank you! Yesss fellow dancer 🔥 But I also learned that there are reasons for those minor messiness 😊

[@ekaterinapeshina9688]

Yooooo I’ve been waiting for your reaction at Taeil’s vocal in the end hahahah I know this group for 2 years already but every time I hear the high notes from him, it makes me just stop breathing 🤣 also I’d like to say thank you for content) It’s really interesting to listen you

[@JeffAvenue]

Ekaterina Peshina thank you! I’m starting to know their faces haha

[@ekaterinapeshina9688]

Jeff Avenue that’s good 😌 they are sweet)

[@ralphmisterio4031]

please continue stanning Kpop bro, and also I like how you react and Analyze those moves from them. love it ♥

[@maangvrr6392]

you can also try reacting to seventeen, they're really good. i'd say seventeen and nct's choreos are one of a kind.

[@ariannabianca5561]

Omg! Thank you for reacting to nct! We Nctzens appreciate it! And YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY REACT TO THIS: -NCT U 'The 7th Sense' -NCT 127 'Simon Says' -NCT 127 'Cherry Bomb' -NCT 'Black on Black' it would be much appreciated if you react to some of these vids . Hoping you would get more interested in them !

[@JeffAvenue]

biancakes thank you! At least most of you guys have the same suggestion. Thanks watching :) I enjoyed them!

[@isolated_ailand]

I really appreciate you pointing out parts when nct are not in sync because I know you're paying attention and saying your actual opinions from what you are currently watching. I'm tired of watching reactions full of compliments, they don't really have something to say except for WOW! THEY'RE SO GOOD! As an nctzen, I thank you for your reaction, hope to see more of NCT content in the future~^^

[@JeffAvenue]

isolated_ailand glad you understand! This is the point of my channel- to give insight on the choreography and stuff that most people won’t notice. Even with BTS, I do find things to critic as well :)

[@iveel4257]

Your the first reactor who really speaks like a dancer and not pretends to be one

[@nurulhannan9571]

NCT 127 is known for their synchronised choreography, actually all of NCT's choreography are

[@sonyavi03]

Fun fact, Taeyong actually suggested for Mark to step on his knee to the choreography, so to all the fans who were complaining abt that part and the choreographer, you were blaming the wrong person oopsie. I never even thought abt the knee part but knowing taeyong added that just made me feel so proud of him uwu

[@JeffAvenue]

sonya vilay good info! Brave boys!

[@haruhi225]

OMG! CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO REACT TO FIRETRUCK BY NCT 127!!! YOU’LL BE BLOWN
